If you could find small enough tubes, could maybe use an EL backlight inverter to run the neons. It would use the battery up fast! But, thinking about it, I have a '70s Commodore watch, a huge chunky gold coloured thing, where you *press a button* and the *red LED display* shows the *slightly wrong time* for a few seconds. It amuses me anyway.
